Abstract submission, meeting registration, and travel awards are now open for the 2017 “Molecular Biosystems” Conference on Eukaryotic Gene Regulation & Functional Genomics, to take place on September 23-26, 2017, at the Cumbres Hotel, Puerto Varas, Chile.

The “Molecular Biosystems” conference on Eukaryotic Gene Regulation and Functional Genomics, supported by the Chilean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Genetics Society of America, will cover a wide variety of topics centered on eukaryotic gene expression, with a strong focus on global approaches for the study of gene regulation and function. This conference aims to bring together scientists from all over the world, at different stages of their scientific careers, to discuss recent advances in this active and fast-paced area of research. The keynote lecture will be presented by Dr. Brenda Andrews (U. of Toronto, Canada).

As this area is gathering increasing attention among Latin American scientists, this meeting will help catalyze interactions between local and foreign investigators, who will be able to exchange ideas, discuss cross-disciplinary collaborations and share their research.

About 40% of the talks will be selected from submitted abstract. In addition, there will be two “Elevator Pitch” sessions, in which authors of selected poster presentations will have 3 minutes to present their work during plenary sessions, so don’t miss this opportunity to share your research at this unique international conference in the region.

Please visit molbiosystems.com for a full list of speakers and additional information about the conference. You can also follow the Facebook and Twitter account of the conference. Please note that a limited number of fellowships will be available to selected early career scientists that register and submit an abstract.

Registration is limited to ~120 attendees and registration is on a first come, first served basis, so plan to register soon.
